"Kang Ho Dong Baekjeong is big, fun, and smells like grilled meat. It’s a Korean barbecue spot on 32nd Street - and, while you’ll find plenty of other barbecue spots nearby (and a few of them don’t get as busy), this one’s our favorite. They don’t typically take reservations, but you can book for groups larger than six, in which case you’ll have to order from a (mandatory) set menu, starting at $50 per person. You’ll get things like cheesy corn, egg souffle, a bunch of other banchan, and your choice of beef, pork, or a mix of the two. And if you say it’s someone’s birthday, a server might light a big sparkler for you." - Bryan Kim
